OpenSSL and Heart Bleed Vuln
Get the latest updates on how F5 mitigates Heartbleed
Hi Team,
I know this question is eventually going to be asked - I may as well do it.
With the news today about the Heartblee...

if you want to test you could use

- Beinhard_8950Apr 08, 2014NimbostratusSome other testtool that you run by yourself. https://gist.github.com/sh1n0b1/10100394 http://s3.jspenguin.org/ssltest.py

- boneyardApr 08, 2014MVPthat onyl shows half of the picture in some cases and isnt always possible with appliances.
- cquick11_115408Apr 08, 2014NimbostratusI guess this applies to server-side ssl too, as i did that command and we are using 9.8 and native.
- Lask1235_53562Apr 08, 2014NimbostratusSomething i found to be helpful. The BIG-IP SSL profiles can use ciphers from two different SSL stacks; the NATIVE stack is built into the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM), and the COMPAT stack, is based on the OpenSSL library. The NATIVE stack is an optimized SSL stack which can be used by the BIG-IP system to leverage hardware acceleration. F5 recommends using the NATIVE stack because it is suitable for most SSL connections. In BIG-IP 11.x, the SSL profiles only use ciphers from the NATIVE SSL stack. To use SSL ciphers from the COMPAT stack, you must manually configure the cipher string for the profile to COMPAT.
